Eleanor Schonell Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Brisbane, Australia.

The Eleanor Schonell Bridge spans 391 meters across the Brisbane River, connecting Dutton Park with the University of Queensland campus at St Lucia.

Opening in December 2006, this structure replaced a ferry service that operated between Dutton Park and St Lucia since 1967, marking a new era in local transportation.

The bridge features poetry by Brisbane authors Samuel Wagan Watson and Luke Beesley integrated into its footpath and railings, adding local artistic elements.

The structure includes two dedicated lanes for buses and separate pathways for pedestrians and cyclists, with 108 solar panels generating electricity for lighting.

This transportation link stands as the first Australian bridge specifically constructed for buses, cyclists, and pedestrians, excluding private motor vehicles.
